Reading Time: < 1 minWe hadn’t been to Krispy Kreme in a while and thought it might be a fun treat this afternoon. We were disappointed that the “hot doughnuts” light wasn’t on, but we still figured we’d get some. In the drive-thru, we ordered a dozen glazed doughnuts and a coffee. “Sorry sir, but we’re out of glazed […]

Taco Bell in ruins
Reading Time: < 1 minA while ago, our local Taco Bell burned. Grease fire, I guess. It quickly became an eyesore, but I assumed it would be dealt with. Apparently not. It’s been at least six months now, and the only change is that they boarded up the windows and barricaded the entrance. What’s up with that? Why doesn’t […]
AT&T Tech Support Woes
Reading Time: < 1 minIf you don’t follow Michael Masnick’s blog at Techdirt, you really need to. The guys calls things like they are, and makes great points every time. Today he absolutely kills AT&T for their horrible service. I’ve not had to deal with them in a while, but my previous experiences have been rather similar. Fortunately, we […]
Taylor Constructions likes to randomly bug people
Reading Time: 2 minA few years ago, a number kept calling our house while we were out, but didn’t leave a message. Finally we were around one time when they called, and it was Taylor Construction looking to drum up some business. I told them very clearly that even if we needed construction services, they were now off […]
Yes, the Nibblers ARE as good as advertised
Reading Time: < 1 minZaxby’s has been really trying to pimp out their “nibblers”, little chicken strip sandwiches. It’s not a bad deal — three nibblers, fries and a drink for a little under $6. Here’s the thing. They’re good. Really good. I’ve never been a fan of Zax sauce, but it really works with these. The downside is […]
Goodyear’s biggest enemy is itself
Reading Time: < 1 minOn an old blog of mine, I expressed frustration about Goodyear competing against itself. In that case, it was radio ads that essentially said “every Goodyear sucks except for ours“. To be honest, we’ve been pleased with Goodyear. There are two locations near us, both of which do pretty good work. The problem is that […]
AdSense for Feeds now open to all!
Reading Time: < 1 minIt’s been a few months since they first announced it, but AdSense for Feeds is now available to all AdSense/FeedBurner users. You should notice a new entry on your main AdSense page for “AdSense for Feeds”. To get started, you need to ask Google to manually tie your AdSense and FeedBurner accounts together. To do […]
Need help getting more traffic to your blog?
Reading Time: 2 minI apologize for not posting very much lately. I’ve been working with a handful of bloggers to try to get their traffic (and revenue) beefed up, and I’ve not had much time for this site lately. The techniques I’m using are really working quite well, and now I’m opening it up to other people. I […]
Google makes it clear — you can show ads from multiple AdSense accounts on a single page
Reading Time: < 1 minThere have been arguments about this for months, but Google has finally made it clear — you are allowed to show ads from more than one AdSense account on a single page. For revenue-sharing sites, it makes configuration much easier. Instead of having to make sure all of the ads on a page are from […]
AdSense ads finally coming to FeedBurner
Reading Time: < 1 minI’ve been waiting for this for a while, but FeedBurner publishers will soon be able to insert AdSense ads in their feeds. I’d love to insert some insightful commentary here, but there’s not much else to say. If you don’t know what AdSense or FeedBurner are, then I don’t know why you’re on an SEO […]
